WILD HOGS 2: BACHELOR RIDE crashes and burns

WILD HOGS

Mickey Mouse must be pissed about something, first he canceled 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, then he canned WEDDING BANNED. Now, it looks like the completely unnecessary WILD HOGS 2: BACHELOR RIDE has put its leather garb away, and hopefully for good.

The original was the story of four old idiots who went on a stupid motorcycle trip to make Tim Allen’s character feel better about his stupid divorce (sorry, I’m bitter). The sequel, which was in the scripting stage, was hiring new writers to revise the script. Discussions were also ongoing to bring back the four principal actors (John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy), but were stopped after the cancellation.

I can’t explain how much I hated the original (you could probably tell), and wouldn’t even considering paying to see a second one. However, I am surprised this movie was canceled. The first one was a giant success, and I did talk to a lot of people who liked it. We’ll see if they try to revive the series later, but for now, sayonara.

Will FALLEN make angels the new vampires?

Fallen Title

After the immeasurable success that TWILIGHT has become, it makes sense that all the studios would want to bank on that success. While TV shows like “True Blood” and “Vampire Diaries” have been extremely successful, CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT didn’t catch on when it was released a couple of months ago. Now Disney wants their shot.

Disney optioned the rights to FALLEN, which is based off the first novel by Lauren Kate in her four book series, about a young girl who is torn between the love of two fallen angels who battle for her. Yeah, it does sound a lot like TWILIGHT with angels. I think Disney might be looking ahead with this one. With LEGION coming out next month, there could be a renewed interest in fallen angel movies.

This could be a good movie, most likely it will be a TWILIGHT clone though. I’m curious, though – who would win in an all-out battle royale between fallen angels and vampires? Let me know in the comments below!
